Francis Johnson: Music Master of Early Philadelphia; Celebrating the acquisition of Francis Johnson sheet music from the collection of Kurt Stein.

The papers of Glen R. Lockery, professor of music at the University of Idaho from 1947 to 1981, are contained in four archival boxes. Among the minor groups of material are items relating to the Northwest Association of College Choral Directors, the Moscow Community Concert Association, and the Idaho Commission on the Arts and Humanities.

The bulk of the collection is made up of material relating to the Vandaleers, a chamber choir which Mr. Lockery directed. The types of material in this series include programs, itineraries of trips, newspaper clippings, correspondence, photographs, and materials for a University of Idaho Songbook.

Items in this archival group have been arranged by the organization to which they pertain. The photographs have been mounted and given the prefix A122. Many large posters were removed from the collection and are filed in drawer 5 of the oversize vertical file.

This association was an outgrowth of reading sessions and clinics held at the Northwest Division Music Educators Conferences. The organizational meetings were held in Bellingham, Washington, March 18 and 19, 1953. In April 1955 the draft of the constitution was given to a "constitutional committee" of the regional Music Educators National Conference for study and revision. The document was formally accepted at a meeting of choral directors on April 16, and the Northwest Association of College Choral Directors became an associated organization attached to the Music Educators National Association. Glen Lockery of the University of Idaho was elected as first president of the new organization.

Items in this series include drafts of the constitution, minutes of meetings held in 1953, 1956, 1957, and 1958, a history of the NACCD by Glen Lockery, and correspondence for the years 1949-1959. Several other items are "An evaluation of various seating plans used in choral singing," by Arthur Ray Lamson (1958); "Dissertations and theses of interest to choral directors" compiled by George E. Bower (1959); and "Twelfth song list--contemporary American and British composers" published by the American Academy of Teachers of Singing in 1959.

The Vandaleers, the University of Idaho's concert choir, made its first appearance in November 1930. In the following years it increased in size from its original 18 members and has appeared on national radio networks, television shows, has undertaken state, regional, and international tours, as well as giving local concerts. One of the most popular of these local events is the annual Christmas candlelight concert given on the University campus.

The majority of the material contained in this series spans the years 1947-1981, the years Glen Lockery directed the choir, although there are a few programs from earlier concerts. The material is arranged by year, and the file cards list the material found in each folder. Below is a general description of the types of material found in this series.

The items include programs for the Christmas and spring concerts, and occasionally for other concerts given by the choir, itineraries for the annual spring tour, lists of Vandaleer members, correspondence, much of it from appreciative listeners, newspaper clippings, audition evaluations, an internal music department memos.

In 1971 the Vandaleers spent three weeks in Europe and the folders for that year contain correspondence related to the planning and fundraising, maps, itineraries, programs, posters, and press releases relating to that trip.

January 1975 found the Vandaleers in Latin America, and among the more interesting items in the folders for that trip is a scrapbook kept by Audrey Aaron of the University of Idaho foreign language department which contains newspaper articles on the Vandaleers and their concerts.

The material in this series is from the years 1960-1969. It includes concert programs, correspondence with booking agencies, and newspaper clippings. There is a great deal of material relative to the appearance of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra in May 1967.

This 21 member commission was created by Governor Robert Smylie in January 1966. Its task was to prepare program ideas for submission to the National Endowment for the Arts and the Humanities so federal funds could be approved. Professor Lockery was an original member of this commission and served for one year.

Material contained in this series includes newsletters, reports, policy statements, suggested programs, applications of the commission for grants for two programs, the Arts Survey and Cultural Inventory, correspondence, minutes of meetings, and newspaper clippings dating from 1966 and 1967.

This series is comprised of non-university related music programs, including some for the 1946 Berkshire Festival, several published articles on singing, official University of Idaho class lists for Vandaleers, 1932-1978, several final exams and book reports from 1959 and 1960, a few items of correspondence, and newspaper clippings.

The posters in this series are too large to store in the archival boxes, and for this reason are filed in the oversize vertical file. There are 30 posters announcing Vandaleer concerts, 4 announcing other university musical events, one for Karin Hurdstrom's FPAC benefit concert, and two Idaho State College Choir posters (1955, 1956). There is also a framed poster announcing the 1930 Vandaleer concert in Payette High School, and a framed proclamation signed by Governor Cecil Andrus naming the Vandaleers "Ambassadors of Good Will Abroad" dated December 31, 1974.

The material in this series includes sheet music, correspondence, and background information for the University of Idaho Songbook. Sheet music includes Greek songs, songs about Idaho, fight songs, and alma mater songs.

The GRAMMY Awards may get far more attention, but no event during GRAMMY Week is more significant or heartfelt than The Recording Academy's Special Merit Awards Ceremony. Taking place at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre on Feb. 9, the ceremony recognized artists, technical professionals and executives who have made significant contributions to our culture in general and the music industry in particular.

This year's selections for the Lifetime Achievement Award, which honors performers, covered a broad spectrum of music styles, including pianist Glenn Gould, jazz bassist and bandleader Charlie Haden, Texas blues legend Lightnin' Hopkins, singer/songwriter Carole King, pop/country singer Patti Page, sitar master Ravi Shankar, and R&B group the Temptations.

The honorees of the Trustees Award, which recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the industry, other than performance, were songwriters Marilyn and Alan Bergman, Chess records co-founders Leonard and Phil Chess, and executive Alan Livingston. The Technical GRAMMY Award recipients were MIDI founders Ikutaro Kakehashi and Dave Smith and renown ribbon microphone manufacturer Royer Labs.

For example, the soft-spoken Haden helped himself to the stage with a cane. Haden is battling an onset of post-polio syndrome, an illness he suffered from as teenager that unexpectedly returned in 2010. But that didn't stop him from talking about the beauty of making music.

And the evening only got better as everyone had a favorite moment to share or a reason to celebrate. Lightnin' Hopkins' granddaughter recalled how her grandfather would call himself Po' Lightnin'; the Bergmans were celebrating 55 years of marriage; and Carole King's daughters Louise Goffin and Sherry Kondor made a video of the audience wishing their mother, who is on tour in Australia, a happy birthday. King also sent a touching message via video.

It all culminated with the Temptations, with the son of the late Melvin Franklin, Niquos Franklin, wishing the audience a "merry Christmas from the Temptations," with his father's signature deep baritone

This installment of GRAMMY Rewind turns back the clock to 2016, revisiting Lamar's acceptance speech upon winning Best Rap Album for To Pimp A Butterfly. Though Lamar was alone on stage, he made it clear that he wouldn't be at the top of his game without the help of a broad support system.

"First off, all glory to God, that's for sure," he said, kicking off a speech that went on to thank his parents, who he described as his "those who gave me the responsibility of knowing, of accepting the good with the bad."

He also extended his love and gratitude to his fiance, Whitney Alford, and shouted out his Top Dawg Entertainment labelmates. Lamar specifically praised Top Dawg's CEO, Anthony Tiffith, for finding and developing raw talent that might not otherwise get the chance to pursue their musical dreams.

To Pimp a Butterfly singles "Alright" and "These Walls" earned Lamar three more GRAMMYs that night, the former winning Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song and the latter taking Best Rap/Sung Collaboration (the song features Bilal, Anna Wise and Thundercat). He also won Best Music Video for the remix of Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood."
